As a force split from Zheng Zhilong's group, Liu Xiang's situation was already very worrying at this time. Zheng Zhilong spared no expense in order to deal with the force headed by Liu Xiang.

Zheng Zhilong once ordered that anyone who can kill and get Liu Xiang's head would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and those who can capture Liu Xiang's head would be rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver. If you don't want to receive the money and want to join Zheng Zhilong's group, you will immediately be awarded as the leader. In addition, if you kill or capture the pirates or leaders who have rebelled with Liu Xiang, you will also have a reward.

That's not all, Zheng Zhilong also joined forces such as the Spaniards to encircle and suppress Liu Xiang, forcing Liu Xiang's power to retreat step by step. Liu Xiang originally had more than 200 ships, but now there are only more than 100 ships left, and the number has dropped sharply from more than 8,000 to more than 5,000. Even the more than 5,000 people include a large number of families such as the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. There are less than 2,000 people who can fight. The worst thing is that as the territory shrinks, their daily necessities have also begun to become scarce. This is the most deadly thing. Otherwise, Liu Xiang would not have been waiting in the inn even though he knew that Yang Feng was not in Xiamen.

"Brother!" Liu Xiang stared at Yang Feng's face and said solemnly: "The sinner is willing to lead the two thousand brothers and more than 3,000 families under his command to submit to the court and obey the orders under his command. The sinner has no other request, but only asks that the more than 3,000 families and two thousand brothers be kind to them, and don't discriminate against them, and give them a chance to reform themselves. I wonder if the uncle can agree?"

It has only been half a month since the incident happened. The conditions proposed by Liu Xiang are completely different from those proposed last time. One is to cooperate and the other is to seek full resignation. The difference here is too big.

Seeing that Liu Xiang, the female bandit, finally convinced, Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, and his tone became softer: "Miss Liu, the old saying goes, "No one is perfect for a sage, and knowing mistakes can improve it. Although the girl has been a thief, my uncle also inquired that the girl has always been righteous and has set the three rules for fighting. If I remember correctly, these three rules are: the poor people will not fight, the elderly, weak, women and children will not fight, and the ships of the Ming government will not fight. These three rules are enough to prove that the girl is a hero with chivalrous and heroic spirit. Now that the girl has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, how can I not give you this opportunity!"

Speaking of this, Yang Feng pondered for a while before saying, "Well, Miss Liu, you can go back immediately and bring everyone's hands. My uncle can ask Governor Xia Dayan to move them to Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Putian. As for you and more than 2,000 brothers under your command, you can form a single army. My uncle can report to His Majesty to enthrone your troops as the Second Fleet of the Fujian Navy, and you will be the commander. As for your official position, you will be the deputy admiral of the Fujian Navy, and will be controlled by Admiral Lu Guangbiao. What do you want?"

After hearing Yang Feng's words, Liu Xiang stood up again without any hesitation, and knelt down at Yang Feng, and said with a crisp voice: "Liu Xiang, deputy admiral of the Fujian Navy, came to see Bo Ye!"

"Okay... OK... Get up!" Yang Feng stood up happily, helped her up in person, and encouraged him: "Miss Liu... No, I should call you Deputy Admiral Liu now. Since you have surrendered to the court, the court will be your backer in the future, and all the money, food, weapons and supplies will be provided by the court. If someone dares to make things difficult for you or bully you, you can come to my uncle directly. It doesn't matter if my uncle can't do it, and there is also the emperor."

Yang Feng said this very sincerely. Even a person as stubborn and independent as Liu Xiang was a little moved. She was thanking him again, but she heard Yang Feng say: "But some things I still want to say ugly things in front of you. After you surrender to the court, you will be the officers and soldiers of the court. You must remember that the salary and weapons you receive are all supported by the people of the Ming Dynasty, so you must not do anything that goes against the military rules. If you know who dares to rob the people's property, rape and robbery, don't blame Ben Bo for not saying that he is not prepared!"

Although Yang Feng said this with a smile, Liu Xiang could see the bloody smell in Yang Feng's smile. She knew that Yang Feng was serious. If her subordinates violated military rules, this guy would really be able to kill people.

Even when Liu Xiang, who was used to life and death, could not help but feel palpitations when she saw the bloody evil aura in Yang Feng's eyes. She took a deep breath and nodded: "Please don't worry, Mr. Bei will definitely restrain his subordinates. If someone dares to violate military discipline, he doesn't need Mr. Bei to take action. Mr. Bei will treat them first!"

"That's good!"

Yang Feng's smile became warmer again. For a moment, Liu Xiang almost thought that the evil spirit he had just seen was his illusion.

After saying this, Yang Feng asked again: "Deputy Admiral Liu, do you have anything else to tell Uncle?"

Liu Xiang knew that Yang Feng was sending off the guests in disguise. Logically, after getting the answer she wanted, she should have left tactfully, otherwise if she didn't leave, would she stay here for dinner with Yang Feng? However, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, my sin... I have another thing to report to you when I come here."

"Oh..." Seeing Liu Xiang's solemn appearance, Yang Feng couldn't help but become curious: "What the hell is it?"

"It's about Zheng Zhilong."

"Zheng Zhilong?" After hearing this, Yang Feng's expression became solemn, "Please speak!"

"That's right." Liu Xiang said: "You also know that Bei Zhi was originally a member of the Shibazhi under Zheng Zhilong's command, and Zheng Zhilong has a deep relationship with the Dutch. It can be said that the reason why he made a fortune was completely supported by the Dutch.

Before breaking up with Zheng Zhilong, Bei Zhi followed him to lead a fleet to intercept Portugal and Spanish merchant ships, captured the Iberians' overseas fortresses, shopping malls, etc. Later, after falling out with Zheng Zhilong, Bei Zhilong began to cooperate with the Spanish in order to survive, so he learned a lot.

A few days ago, Bei Zhi received information. After Zheng Zhilong was defeated by Boye in Fuzhou and Xiamen, he began to formally seek help from the Dutch. The Dutch sold another twelve warships and sixty artillery pieces to Zheng Zhilong half a month ago. Zheng Zhilong used these warships and artillery to start reorganizing the fleet. Boye must be careful."

Yang Feng frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What exactly does the Dutch support Zheng Zhilong so hard?"

Liu Xiangzhengrong said: "Because the Dutch are no longer satisfied with establishing several ports and bases in Xiaoliuqiu (Taiwan), their governor to Xiaoliuqiu Sir Sonod has formulated a plan to fully encroach on the Ming Dynasty and has submitted it to the Dutch government. It is said that with the Dutch government, Sir Sonod has approved Sir Sonod's plan. They are preparing to use 30,000 people and 2,000 warships to complete the plan, and Zheng Zhilong is the vanguard of the Dutch."

"The Dutch are ready to invade the Ming Dynasty in full?"

Hearing this, Yang Feng almost sprayed out the tea that he had just drank close to his mouth.

The Netherlands invaded the Ming Dynasty. This sentence is probably the biggest joke that Yang Feng heard when he grew up so old. The Netherlands, a country that is not much larger than Beijing, actually wanted to invade the Ming Dynasty. Yang Feng's first reaction was that either the Dutch were crazy or Zheng Zhilong was overwhelmed by hatred and had a fever.

"Are you sure this is correct?"

"This information was sent by Bei Zhi from Zheng Chenggong's inside line." Liu Xiang stared at Yang Feng's eyes very seriously. "Bei Zhi doesn't know the authenticity of this matter, but Bei Zhi doesn't dare to hide it from you. I beg you to decide."

"hiss……"

Yang Feng stroked his head with his hand, and for a moment he felt his head get a little bigger.

To be honest, he doesn't remember something like this happening in another historical time and space. What's wrong?

After thinking for a long time, Yang Feng rubbed his temples tiredly, and then waved his hand, "Deputy Admiral Liu, you go back first. This fact is of great importance. Uncle Ben must think it through."

Liu Xiang also knew that this fact was too important. She originally didn't want to tell Yang Feng, because she didn't dare to be too sure of the authenticity of the matter, but this fact was too important. She was worried that if she didn't tell Yang Feng, if the Dutch really came over one day, Yang Feng, who was stationed in Fujian under the order, would be the first to suffer. After all, now she has put all her wealth on Yang Feng, and she wouldn't be able to get lucky if beekeeping is bad.

After Liu Xiang left, Yang Feng, who was sitting on the chair, closed his eyes and rested for a long time but did not come up with a countermeasure.

Although the information Liu Xiang said is too absurd at first glance, many things that seem absurd in the world do exist. For example, Felipe II, the ruler of the Spanish Empire in his heyday, had repeatedly formulated plans to conquer China in order to gain a trade advantage in the Asia-Pacific region. Although China is vast, Felipe II's military adviser confidently believed that only 15,000 Spanish soldiers, plus 6,000 Japanese soldiers could complete the task. They believed that Europe's technical and tactical advantages could make up for the disadvantage in the number of soldiers.

For this plan, Felipe II and his generals did many exercises and inferences, and actively worked hard for it. Their continuous increase in troops in Taiwan was to prepare for this plan, but later the plan ended in failure due to Felipe II's premature death. Since Spain had made this plan, why could not the Dutch, who are now in their heyday, make this plan?

I don’t know how long it took, a candlelight appeared in front of Yang Feng. When Yang Feng looked up and saw that it was already dark, he shook his head helplessly and said, “It seems that the Ming Dynasty is too weak now. Even the cat and dog are delusional to eat him.”

At this time, a maid came over to report: "My uncle, it's getting late. Mrs. Tu Niang and Mrs. Shin Niang are asking you to have a meal."

"Okay, go for dinner." Yang Feng breathed a long sigh and murmured: "I originally thought that Liu Xiang could breathe a sigh of relief after he defected, but I never thought that a bigger opponent would appear again. But this is good, so let the storm come more violently!"
